Testimonial
I want to share the wonderful experience I had with Dr. Husted's
great staff. I was never looked down upon because of my size.
I was always treated with the utmost respect and felt they
genuinely cared about me. This means a lot when your about
to go down roads you haven't traveled before.
My primary care physician had mentioned weight
loss surgery a year before I made the decision to check into
it. He referred me to Dr. Husted. I was a fifty year old woman
with a problem of on again and off again diets which left
me gaining more weight. I was very tired of these yoyo changes.
I had type II diabetes, high blood pressure, and several other
medical problems. My medicines were costing the insurance
company around $2300.00 every three months.
To put it mildly, I need a new lease on life
which I found in the form of gastric bypass surgery. My consult
date was 9/11/02, my pre-op was on Halloween, and surgery
was 11/14/02. Some people think surgery is the easy way out,
but believe me it's a major undertaking but worth everything
to be on the other side.
7 months post-op - I've lost 115 pounds and
am off 7 medications. I was going to have to have a knee replacement
but I won't have to have it now. I am no longer diabetic,
thank the Lord. I was wearing size 30-32, and 4X clothes.
Now I wear a size 20 and XL clothes.
I feel very blessed to have been in the great
care of Dr. Husted and his team. They have dedicated their
lives to saving ours! I believe with all my heart that my
decision to have this surgery was the only way I was going
to get a new lease on life. Thanks to Dr. Husted and the Lord,
I now have a chance to prolong my life.
